Altlioucb Assured by Government of Minimum, Men Will Continue to .Maintain Strike. LONDON, March 17. A fateful day In the history of British trad struggles came to a close early thta morning with the passage through Parliament by a large majority of the bill establishing in legislation the principle of a mini mum wage In the country's most Im portant Industry coal mining. The minimum wage bill passed Its third reading In the House of Commons by a rote of til to amid a scene of great excitement The House of Lords re assembled at I:S0 o'clook to receive the bill and on motion of Lord Herschell It passed Its first reading. Premier Asqulth on leaving the House of Commons was cheered loudly by all the members. After a strtke lasting nearly a month and Involving the whole country In distress, the miners thus nave secured recognition of the principle which they set out to obtain. But they still are dissatisfied because the bill does not specify the amount of the minimum wage and there la no prospect of an Immediate settlement of the strike. The miners' leaders declare their de termination to keep up the strike un til they have secured guarantees of a minimum wage scale of 6 shillings (Jl I5 for men or until the district boards as provided by the bill ar range acceptable term. What will be the next step In the struggle It is Impossible to foretell. By Thursdsy the minimum wage bill will have received the royal assent and become law. In the meantime the Miners' Federstlon and labor party will hold meetings to decide upon their future course. It is reported that the government Intends to constitute a National wage board with an Independent chairman to endeavor to secure the resumption of work on a S and i-shllllng basis. Premier Asqulth In the debate an nounced that the government had failed to terminate the coal strike. "We have done our best," he said, "with thoroughness and Impartiality, and It Is with profound disappointment that I have to confess to the House that all our labors have been unavailing." In a final appeal to the disputants the Prime Minister said: "If at this 59th minute of the 11th hour, tho parties cannot come to a rea sonable arrangement In a matter of relatively small proportions, they will have a serious account to render to the country.' The Government has done all It can." A large section of the Liberals, and It Is even rumored some members of the Government, feel that Mr. Asqulth has made a mistake In refusing to per mit the Insertion of any minimum fig urea In the bill, as It waa almost cer tain that the admission of the five and two-shilling schedule would have set tled the strike. At the ssme time general sympathy Is felt for the Premier, who appeared crushed by the failure of bis efforts to secure a settlement. After the defeat of the Brace amendment, the laborltes resolved to vote against the passage of the bill on Its third reading as a protest against the Government's action. Chancellor Lloyd-George said he greatly deplored the decision of the Laborltes and thought they were In curring a grave responsibility In plunging the country Into deeper mis ery. The bill embodied what the miners struck for. He quoted from the miners ballot voting paper: "Are you In favor of ceaaing work for the principle of a minimum wage?" That principle, the Chancellor said, now was established for the first time In a great Industry. What will follow the adoption of the bill la Impossible to predict. There Is a general belief that the coal own era will announce their readiness to reopen the pita and loyally will accept the decisions of the district boards. Whether there will be a general re sumption of work by the miners Is doubtful. Their leadera resent the at titude of the government and will en deavor to persuade the miner to pro long the strike. They argue that the miners hold a strong position, as dur ing the coming weeks the pinch of In convenience and discomfort to the pub lio will be worse than ever. Extremists talk a strike of the rail way and transportation workers to as sist the miners. The more moderate urge the taking of a ballot of the men on the next step. Although the men are comlns to the ed of their re sources, a strong feeling prevails among them. Work waa resumed at various pits in Scotland yesterday and It la believed that If the government would grant protection to men willing to work there soon would be a resumption In Scotland on a large scale.

Sheriff Bruner at 11 o'clock tele graphed to Governor Deneen for mi litia to quell the disturbance and help the police In maintaining order. At 11:25 A. M. today the authorities apparently had the situation well In hand, although new outbreaks momen tarily were feared. The Rock Island and Mollne militia companies are on the ground. Police Are Jeered. The mob gathered following ad dresses by two sympathisers with John Looney, publisher of the News, a week ly newspaper, which last Saturday printed an attack on Mayor Schrtever. Police officers were Jeered when they admonished the crowds to disperse and go to their homes peaceably. Several hundred were In the mob that surrounded police headquarters, where two of the leaders of the rioters were detained. Bricks were thrown and windows of the police station smashed. Then fol lowed several shots from the crowd. It waa then that Mayor Schrlever. who waa directing the police, ordered the officers to charge the mob. Mca Seea to Fall. A number of men were seen to fall. This caused the rioters temporarily to withdraw. Physicians were summoned as were the Sheriff's officers. One man was picked up dead. Nine were wounded so badly they were hurried to a hospital. Of these, two may die. Names of dead aijd injured were unob tainable. After the Injured had been removed, the mob reorganised and one of the leaders directed his howling associates to a hardware store for the purpose of securing a fresh supply of arms. The police- thwarted them. More Troops fought. Sheriff Bruner wired Governor De neen to rush troops to the city. Sev eral companies are expected to be here before morning. Under orders from Adjutant General Dickson, at Springfield. Captain Edwin Dunwin of Company A, Sixth Infantry, last night mobilized his troops of the state militia and reported to the Sher iff of Hock Island County. As soon as word was passed that troops were to take charge, the people who had remained In the streets after the fatal volley was fired, dispersed. Mayor Schrlever recently began a campaign to clean the city of undesira ble persons, so he announced, but his enemies declared that he wanted to oust his political foes. A few days ago the editor of a weekly newspaper scathingly denounced Mayor Schrlever and the mayor ordered that the Issue of the paper be suppressed. Mayer's Oppoaeats Angered. Announcement of the suppression of the publication was made at a mass meeting Monday night of opponents of the mayor and after the meeting a large crowd went to the newspaper office and got copies of the paper. The mayor's opponent had been angered by the fact that Mayor Schrlever had physically chastised the editor of the paper for previous editorial aspersions. The police ordered the crowd from In front of the newspaper office and beat back the people with clubs. Many arrests were made and a riot ensued. The body of Frank B. Potts, of Winona Junction, Wis., was found In a hallway yesterday morning. It mas reported that he had been killed In the riot. A mass meeting was called for last night. Petitions for the recall of May or Schrlever and Commissioner Hart were circulated at the meeting. A crowd gathered after the meeting, swearing vengeance for the attacks made upon the crowd at the news paper office. Some of the rioters said tbst the police had murdered Potts, although physicians said that the man probably died of apoplexy.
